Weight Management

Strive for Wellness® offers weight management courses to all state employees. They are taught by registered and licensed dietitians who promote lifelong habits of nutritious eating and physical activity where no food is off limits! Topics include portion control, stress management, cooking and grocery shopping. MyPlate, a tool to help portion out food groups on your plate, is frequently discussed during the program. To date, participants have lost more than 700 pounds – no wonder there is a 97% satisfaction rate!

Classes meet for one hour, once a week, for 14 weeks. All classes take place in Jefferson City; the building location will vary with each session. Interested participants must attend an informational session in order to register. For more information, please visit with your Wellness Ambassador or contact us.
